Water is vital to life, yet billions throughout the world go without clean drinking water every day. Millions die each year due to disease caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation, including hundreds of thousands of children. But on Sept. 14, 2017, local residents can do their part to help those affected by this global water crisis at the annual “Drive for Water” golf tournament, held once again at Pelican Beach Golf Resort.

The proceeds from this yearly fundraiser, hosted by PEACEwater: No Thirsty Child!, will benefit H2❤, an organization focused on helping developing countries provide clean water for their residents. Proceeds will also benefit Operation Homefront San Diego, an organization that helps provide assistance and support programs for military families, and Crittenton, a nonprofit child welfare and behavioral health agency working to help children and families affected by abuse and neglect.

“Drive for Water” will be held at the breathtaking Pelican Beach Golf Resort near Newport Beach. This exquisite course, born from the vision of renowned designer Tom Fazio, boasts lush landscaping and oceanfront views surrounding every hole. It is the perfect setting where caring individuals can enjoy a spectacular golf event and help those in need.

As this year’s Drive for Water event comes closer, hype is building for this wonderful annual event. It will be held at the Pelican Hill Golf Resort, which is located near the beautiful Newport Beach. The elegant, breathtaking course is the idea-come-to-life course of well-renowned course designer, Tom Fazio.

The event will be held on September 22, 2016 and will be hosted by “No Thirsty Child!”. To register, please visit our Event Registration page. If you have any questions, you can reach us via our Contact page for more information.

Every hole on the course is surrounded with beautiful, vast oceanfront views. You are also greeted by a lush, green, and large landscape of sage and eucalyptus trees. It is one of the most awe-inspiring places to help people who lack clean water internationally and experience an amazing golf event for a good cause.

Millions of people live without a sufficient amount of clean water worldwide. A report from the World Health Organization (WHO) states that nearly one billion people do not have access to a clean water supply. This phenomenon causes major damage to many of these families who live on less than $1.00 per day.

Not only does this affect their financial situation, but also their health. A lack of clean water is the cause of millions of individuals’ deaths. The WHO also reports that up to four percent of the global disease total could be avoid with more access points to improved water supplies, sanitation, and hygiene. You can give back to the world through the Drive for Water event.

The proceeds from this event will go to H2❤, which is organization that aids developing countries in providing clean water, and Crittenton, which provides support for those children and families who were victims to abuse and neglect. With the help of the Drive for Water event’s generous donations, communities and individuals will get to receive the gift of fresh, clean water.

Excitement is mounting for this year’s Drive for Water event, which will be held at the Pelican Hill Golf Resort. Situated near the stunning Newport Beach, this rich, lavish paradise is the creation of legendary course designer Tom Fazio.

Hosted by “No Thirsty Child!”, the 2015 Drive for Water tournament will be taking place on September 24, 2015. For registration, please visit out our Event Registration page. Or feel free to send an inquiry via our Contact page for more information.

Every hole features majestic, sweeping oceanfront views. In turn, this is complemented by a sprawling, green, natural landscape of sage and eucalyptus trees. It’s an incredible destination at which to help people lacking clean water worldwide and partake in an unforgettable golf experience.

Across the globe, there are millions of people without clean water. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), nearly one billion individuals lack access to improved water supply. It’s a global crisis with tragic implications, as many of these families live on less than $1.00 per day.

Millions of people die each year because they lack access to clean water. And the WHO reports as much as four percent of the global disease burden could be prevented with improved water supply, sanitation, and hygiene. The Driver for Water gives participants the opportunity to truly make a difference.

Event proceeds will go to H2❤, an organization supporting the clean water needs of developing countries; Operation Homefront, a service-assistance organization for the families of veterans and wounded warriors; and PureGame™, an organization promoting youth development. Through the generous giving at this event, needy, water-stricken populations across the globe also will receive access to life-giving clean water.

The nonprofit, faith-based organization, Drive For Water is once again raising money for developing countries through golf tournaments, including the 2014 Golf Tournament to be held on Friday, September 12, 2014 at Monarch Beach Golf Links starting at 11am and ending with cocktails and appetizers at 4:30pm which will then be followed by an auction, awards and dinner.

Golfers and everyone who is interested in making a difference in the lives of those impacted by contaminated water can register for the event that day, from 10am until 11am. Proceeds from the tournament are to benefit the independent, nonprofit corporation called NO Thirsty Child. Contaminated water is the #1 cause for death in developing countries. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) approximately 801,000 kids age 5 years or younger die each year from diarrhea resulting from unsafe drinking water, lack of access to sanitation or inadequate availability of water for basic needs including hygiene.

Golfers typically view water on a course as a hazard but during the tournament they will come to see it as something people in developing countries hope for, so they can drive away disease, and improve the lives of young children. Participants in the tournament located in Dana Point, CA will enjoy this exceptional golf resort for its beautiful oceanfront view, its challenging hole presentation and its world-renowned recognition for being one of the top 10 golf resorts in Southern California, top ten resort courses in North America and for having one of the best golf shops. Golfers can participate in one of several sponsorship opportunities, including the following donation levels or they can provide a donation only without participating in golf rounds.

Hole in One - $15,000 includes (2) foursomes and (8) tickets to the awards and dinner celebration. Donation level benefits the construction of deep water well.

At this year’s Drive for Water event, generous donors will be support a great cause and enjoy an exceptional golf experience at one of North America’s top golf resorts. Set against the backdrop of southern California’s rich, enchanting oceanfront landscape, Monarch Beach Golf Links has won countless awards for its natural beauty, challenging hole layout, and overall player value.

Across the globe, one billion people in developing nations — or one-seventh of the world’s population — struggle with consistent access to clean water.

Through this generous giving, needy, water-stricken populations in developing nations are granted the gift of life-restoring clean water, made available through a range of solutions from clean water education to deep water wells.

In short, all levels of generous giving truly have a direct impact on the well-being of whole, clean water-starved communities. Drive for Water 2014 promises to provide those same opportunities for needy populations’ empowerment and more.
